The Most Profitable Actor Born in Each State and Country​A set of graphics from CashNet gives movie fans in every state and every nation someone to be proud of. They determined the birthplace of the world's most bankable actors and determined their box office draw from IMdB. The figures attached to the names are not the actor's money, but the gross receipts of the movies they've appeared in, adjusted for inflation. Therefore, actors who appear in a lot of movies will amass more money overall, but those movies still had to be hits to compete. The number one slot worldwide goes to Samuel L. Jackson, who has appeared in an awful lot of films, many that were huge hits, with a total box office of $28.75 billion. The chart for the actors of all the nations in the world is rather large, so click to enlarge it here. The map shown above is for actors born in each of the United States. Note an egregious error in that Samuel L. Jackson was born in Washington, DC, and not in Washington state. Since women receive fewer movie roles overall, they also did a separate chart for female actors.
